July 2nd, 2007 by it gossips | Filed under Uncategorized.

Younha (Korean: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korean_language) ???; ???; Go Youn-ha, Japanese (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katakana): ???, Yunna), born April 29 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/April_29), 1988 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1988) in Seoul (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seoul), Korea (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korea), is a K-Pop (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-Pop) and J-Pop (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J-Pop) singer.
Younha made her debut as an artist at the young age of sixteen. Nicknamed the Oricon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oricon) comet for her success in Japan,[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Younha#_note-showcase) she has currently released eight singles and one album in that country with varying degrees of success; however, many of her songs have been featured in animes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anime)/dramas. Although she is often compared to BoA (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BoA) because she is a Korean who is active in Japan, speaks Japanese well and is one of the few Koreans to rank on the Oricon chart, there are significant differences between their musical style and performance.
Younha is signed to Epic Records, which is owned by Sony Music Japan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_Music_Japan). Her Korean agency is Stam Entertainment.
South Korea (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Korea) to music loving parents, Younha began to play the piano at the age of 4.[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Younha#_note-market_storm) She developed an interest in Japanese Drama (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorama) and began to teach herself Japanese. Before long, she was skilled enough to interpret to her school friends what would happen on Japanese television. What began as an interest in Japanese dramas developed into an interest in Japanese music. At the recommendation of an older student in her school’s broadcasting club, she listened to such artists as Utada Hikaru (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utada_Hikaru) and Misia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misia) and soon began to like Japanese music. Younha began to dream about debuting as a singer alongside her favorite artists.
